Final Chapter Trilogy --- Enlightenment
The flagship of the scout fleet, "Kunming Lake", entered an etheric state and started simulated stealth. According to the terrain and climatic characteristics of its area, the fleet "floats" the depth of the continent with a cloud...
The curious Zhou Yun stared at this magical alien continent with her big eyes and stared at it.
At this moment, the ship "floats" over a city, and huge chimneys with black smoke appeared one after another in every corner, extending to the edge of the city.
There were crowds of "bear people" on the street.
What made Liu Hanyang feel very friendly was that he saw a means of transportation similar to the medieval earth-bearing carriage on the road, shuttled back and forth on the diamond-paved road...
In the sun, the road reflects a wonderful rainbow color, shining brightly.
What is completely different from the horses on Earth is that the horses present a translucent fluorescent color, with the bones inside clearly visible, and even the fluorescent green blood vessels at a glance.
It has 12 feet long, 4 in front and 8 in the back, which is 5 times larger than the horses on Earth. It runs very fast, reaching 120 kilometers per hour.
The city scene also made him feel very familiar. In addition to the different species of organisms, it was a completely scene on the eve of the industrialization of the Earth in the 18th century.
The large-scale construction of chimneys shows that things like coal have been mined on a large scale.
The dense flow of people shows that the population has begun to concentrate in cities, and the acceleration of urbanization will give birth to a qualitative leap in industrial civilization.
"Look!" Zhou Yun seemed to have discovered something new. She pointed to the porthole excitedly and jumped, "This is an apple tree, I have seen it in a book."
Indeed, this is really similar to an apple tree on the earth. It is hard to imagine that in the distance of 20 light years, there is an apple tree that is no different from that on the earth!
At this moment, the ship had "floated" over a courtyard. Liu Hanyang looked in the direction she pointed and saw a towering fruit tree growing in the courtyard. The fruits on the trees were full of white and red, just like the apples on the earth.
At this moment, everyone on the ship was shocked. They silently stared at the fruitful apple tree in front of the screen...
There was a male "bear man" under the tree. He was sitting on a chair, half-supporting his chin, as if thinking about something...
"I want an apple!"
Zhou Yun began to act coquettishly.
Liu Hanyang smiled helplessly, he knew he could not twist her.
He turned around: "Nakano, start the stealth detector, pick one apple, no, two, the other to do research."
"I want to pick it myself."
Zhou Yun looked at Liu Hanyang with a longing look, but she was still a coquettish look.
"Scientific exploration starts with the doll."
Liu Hanyang and Ichihiro Nakano smiled bitterly. Zhou Yun understood that this was a tacit expression. She quickly ran to the position of the invisible detector.
"Be careful not to alarm the bear man under the tree!"
"I know! You're just talking nonsense every time."
Zhou Yun glanced at Liu Hanyang who was reminding her and put on the robotic tool for the trap.
On the operating table, she waved her arm, and then an invisible retrieval instrument extended out of the ship's detection compartment. Its front end was a pipe-type telescopic robot arm and a bionic robot at the end.
The invisible collector stretched through the layers of branches towards an apple. The bionic robot opened its hand, but suddenly stopped again. She discovered another larger and redder apple.
She was a little overjoyed, and the detector changed direction again and stretched towards the apple...
The apple happened to be above the head of the "bear man", and his thoughts were still in meditation.
The bionic robot opened and the apple was successfully caught.
"Catch it, catch it!"
Zhou Yun waved her arms happily, and with irregular dancing, the bionic robot suddenly opened and the apple fell straight...
With a "bang", he hit the feet of the "bear man". He stared at the apple on the ground, staring at the long-term...
After a while, he slowly raised his head and stared at the sky, as if he was thinking about something again...
Suddenly, he seemed to understand something and rushed into the house. Before Liu Hanyang and the others could react, he rushed out quickly with a bunch of books, flipping through the books while keeping muttering...
When he flipped into one of the books, he opened his arms, threw the book high into the air, and shouted wildly: "%*¥#@%*&¥%..."
"What is he calling?" Nakano Ichihiro asked in confusion.
"Mess, call out the planetary language pack and translate his words!" Liu Hanyang ordered.
Two years ago, the linguistic analysis vehicle that first arrived on the planet, collected linguistic information from all races of the planet in its synchronous orbit.
As the translation was translated, Metz looked at Liu Hanyang in horror.
"What exactly is he shouting?"
"He...he is shouting for gravity, and it seems that he has discovered the law of gravity!"
"Then he is so great!" Zhou Yun shouted happily, "They will launch rockets soon."
Liu Hanyang glared at her fiercely. He understood that the scout fleet had violated Article 5, paragraph 3 of the Apocalypse Fleet Flight Regulations: under no circumstances or conditions, the primary civilization with potential development shall not be interfered with or guided.
If the ban is violated, the offender, the participants, and the passive participants will be permanently exiled to the universe indiscriminately.
Liu Hanyang took a deep breath, turned around silently, lowered his head and pondered. The air inside the ship seemed to have been frozen in an instant, as cold and silent as ice.
A kind of stern coldness.
"Doctor, mobilize the frigate to completely destroy the courtyard!"
Kazuhiro Nakano's eyes were like fire, burning and anxious.
Liu Hanyang waved his hand powerlessly: "Any attack must be authorized by the commander-in-chief of the fleet."
"Mess, take General Cheng Yichen!" Nakano Ichihiro ordered, "Just say we were attacked unidentified and requested to be completely destroyed!"
Metz looked at Liu Hanyang with eager and expectant eyes, but he still looked down: "At present, any unilateral attack is not legal unless we are truly attacked."
The ship fell into a long silence.
Liu Hanyang knew very well that after 260 years of suicide voyage, humans were lucky enough to find a habitat that was highly similar to the earth's environment.
This is also the only livable planet found since the ultimate battle between human civilization and the Ghost River civilization and the Dark Civilization.
Here, whether we can escape the pursuit of the two reassembled civilizations can only rely on luck.
Perhaps on this planet, humans can have the honor to reproduce and survive, and may continue the long journey of escape.
But for now, this is the joint decision of the seven-member committee on whether to destroy or retain this civilization. Although he is also one of the members, he has no authority to destroy it unilaterally, even if it is a designated cleaning.
"Mess, report the situation of interference in civilization to the commander-in-chief of the fleet truthfully. I bear 100% responsibility. I will plead with the 7-member committee to conditionally pardon your passive participants' responsibilities." Liu Hanyang finally spoke.
Mes looked at him dullly, then looked at Kazuhiro Nakano, with depression and helplessness reflected on her face.
She sighed and began to operate quantum communication.
"I still can't contact the fleet!"
As Mess finished speaking, the two looked at her in horror, and the command cabin fell into dead silence again. There was no expression in their eyes, only dullness and mechanical...
A crisp "ding" sounded, and Liu Hanyang, Nakano and even Zhou Yun looked at Mes nervously.
"I received a signal from the fleet!"
Mess felt relieved, but in a moment, her face became solemn again.
"What I received was only the communication records from the fleet, with two in total. The terminal display was sent 12 minutes ago, with each 6 minutes apart!"
“Play the communication record!”
Communication records sounded in the ship: Scout formation, Scout formation, please report the planetary coordinates of your formation, please report the planetary coordinates of your formation!
“This is the first one.”
Scout formation, scout formation, you have disappeared for 7 years, 7 years! You have sent a contact fleet to rescue!
“This is the second one.”
"Vanished for 7 years!" Nakano Ichihiro looked at Liu Hanyang in horror, his astonished look was obviously asking him for confirmation.
"Second 7 years after 6 minutes!"
Chapter completed!
